On the job Aaron drives an unmarked red Mustang - all the better to catch speeders with. Nobody can tell he’s a Trooper with the Highway Patrol.

When he arrives home at the end of his shift this night, the Trooper is alarmed to see his Jeep Cherokee missing from under the carport. He figures his wife must be out getting something for breakfast. At least that’s what he thinks until he opens the front door and finds the living room in a shambles.

His wife slept though the entire burglary. Stolen were three guns - a shotgun and two handguns. But the thing that irritates Trooper Aaron the most is, they stole his pride and joy - his Jeep Cherokee.

Three weeks pass. Aaron is out on patrol on I-20 when his radar registers a vehicle traveling 93 m.p.h. in a 65 m.p.h. zone. As he closes in on the speeder he activates the siren and blue lights mounted behind the grill.

The vehicle is a black Jeep Cherokee with a "tags applied for" sign on the back bumper. "Looks almost identical to mine," thinks Trooper Aaron. As he walks up to the car he notices a Citadel decal on the rear window with a small nick out of the bottom. "Same as mine," he thinks.

What are the chances of such a recovery? Slim and none, except that’s exactly what happens here tonight. After a few words of "prayer" with the Trooper, Hubert is more than happy to give up the details of his purchase.

Turns out Hubert bought Trooper Aaron’s vehicle from the guy who stole it during a burglary. Hoping for leniency, Hubert agrees to take two undercover officers to the crooked dealer’s place of business. There the cops place orders for two vehicles. Later, when they go to pick up the merchandise, they arrest the dealer and one of his partners for a dozen counts of "grand theft auto," plus a series of burglaries that include the one at Trooper Aaron’s house. The guns were never recovered.
